The ROO Residency
The ROO Residency
In "A Room of One's Own," written in 1929, Virginia Woolf says, “fictitious women are too simple — contrary to the living, breathing, complex women of real life, (they) are almost always depicted only “in their relation to men.” With the ROO Residency, Bechdel Project hopes to take one more step toward creating a culture of stories with complex women who are not simply depicted in relation to men.
The ROO Residency is a two-year residency that supports the creation of a new work for the stage or screen. Projects must center women, and highlight untold, or underrepresented, narratives and perspectives.

“At every turn, the Bechdel Project has demonstrated their steadfast belief in the play, the importance of its subject matter, and confidence in me as an artist. As a result, I have achieved my strongest and most relevant work to date. This wouldn’t have been possible without the ROO Residency.”
